commite654f9f53bupstream. The policy for handling the skb list locks on the send and receive paths is simple. - On the send path we never need to grab the lock on the 'xmitq' list when the destination is an exernal node. - On the receive path we always need to grab the lock on the 'inputq' list, irrespective of source node. However, when transmitting node local messages those will eventually end up on the receive path of a local socket, meaning that the argument 'xmitq' in tipc_node_xmit() will become the 'ínputq' argument in the function tipc_sk_rcv(). This has been handled by always initializing the spinlock of the 'xmitq' list at message creation, just in case it may end up on the receive path later, and despite knowing that the lock in most cases never will be used. This approach is inaccurate and confusing, and has also concealed the fact that the stated 'no lock grabbing' policy for the send path is violated in some cases. We now clean up this by never initializing the lock at message creation, instead doing this at the moment we find that the message actually will enter the receive path. At the same time we fix the four locations where we incorrectly access the spinlock on the send/error path. This patch also reverts commitd12cffe932("tipc: ensure head->lock is initialised") which has now become redundant.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
